Bluefield Daily Telegraph, Bluefield, WV - Cap and trade will cripple economy

Our electric bills will more than double or triple, natural gas, and gasoline prices will soar and everything that uses electricity to produce or oil products to transport food and other products to market will certainly skyrocket. All because congress has bought into Al Gore’s global warming hoax at a time when the earth has actually cooled for the past seven years.

Finally, as a very well known coal expert said, cap and trade will only serve to cap our economy and trade your job to China or India. Thankfully Senator Byrd opposes cap and trade.

Townhall.com Blog : Greg Hengler : Gingrich Battles A Hostile Henry Waxman (D) On Global Warming

Henry Waxman spends no time mincing words. Right out of the gate he tells Newt that there needs to be no debating because he only has two options: "Work with us" to solve the man-made global warming problem or don't bother coming to us with any solutions. So you are either with Democrats, or against them. Didn't the Dems have a problem with that kind of language in the past?

It pays to be prepared while hunting | hattiesburgamerican.com | Hattiesburg American

I've been hunting turkeys each spring in southeastern Oklahoma since 1984 when I traveled there with the legendary Ben Rogers Lee for a story. And I've gotta tell ya', if this global warming thing folks keep harping on gets any worse, I'll probably freeze to death on my annual trip next spring.

To wit, last year, out of the seven-day hunt, it snowed on me at least five days. Never before had this happened until global warming came along. And it's not because I was there any earlier than ever before, like during the winter or anything like that. That's why they call it "spring turkey season," because it comes around the same date each spring.

We didn't get any snow this spring, but the temperatures were just as cold as last year, if not colder. It got down into the 20s some nights. Add to that 30-40 mile an hour sustained winds a couple of days, and you'll maybe understand why I think this global "warming" stuff is a bunch of hogwash. Not in 25 years has it been as cold in Oklahoma (at least where I hunt) as it has been the last two.
